As 2017 comes to a close, I’ve decided to follow the example of fellow travel bloggers and look back at what was going on this year. Further below, I will also reveal what I have planned for 2018. 2017 in Travel I am really happy about how my year in travel has turned out. I managed to visit Cyprus, Belarus, Norway and Bulgaria for the first time – that’s another

Dubrovnik is often called the “Pearl of the Adriatic” and it certainly lives up to its nickname. Without a doubt, it is the most gorgeous and magnificent city on the eastern Adriatic coast. However, there is a catch. Dubrovnik can get crowded, and if I say so, I mean packed like sardines in a can. The medieval city has always been a popular tourist destination, but with the arrival of

When we think of Croatia, we tend to think of pristine beaches and charming small towns along the Adriatic Coast. Dubrovnik, Split or Plitvice Lakes are without doubt worth a visit, but if you want to get away from the crowds and inflated prices, they are best to be avoided during the summer months.

Hahn Airport (HHN) has become a popular alternative to the main Frankfurt International Airport (FRA), despite the fact that it is located 100 km west of Frankfurt in the federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate (Rheinland-Pfalz) in Hunsrück region, pretty much in the middle of nowhere.

I once sold my old car to a likeable and smart guy from Armenia. He invited me to his apartment to complete the transaction and his wife made sure I wouldn’t leave hungry. I still remember the smell of the coffee I was served in a traditional Armenian coffee cup. Ever since, I was eager to find out more about this far away country in the Caucasus of which most

Lviv, Ukraine is one of my favorite cities in Eastern Europe and still fairly off the beaten track. One reason for that is the lack of convenient low-cost flights from major airports and the relatively slow train connections in this part of Europe.
